Abstract
40 students in Introductory Psychology at the University of Illinois were divided into an experimental group and a control group, each composed of 10 males and 10 females. Measures of palmar sweating, heart rate, and pulse pressure were taken before, during and after reading into a delayed auditory feedback recording, with a standard delay interval of .2 seconds. There was a significant increase in palmar sweating. Stimuli involving disruption of speech patterns results in patterns of physiological arousal, which are different from those associated with pure physiological stimulation.
